An essay about capitalism, automation, and fear of being replacedFear of being replaced has come to define the late-capitalist psyche. In an age of gig work and AI, more and more workers are threatened with replacement; meanwhile dating apps present both limitless choice and limitless competition, and demagogues stoke racist paranoia through myths of a `great replacement' by immigrant populations.�In this wide-ranging essay, Amber Husain asks how we might redirect the fear, turning our replaceability from an individual weakness into a collective strength.�Radical, clear-sighted, and moving,�Replace�Me�examines both the terror and the allure in fantasies of infinite replacement. Hailed by Chris Kraus as `one of the most sweeping assessments to date of neoliberalism's psychic toll', this new edition features a foreword by Daisy Lafarge and an afterword by the author.
